Unfortunately, I don't think it would really be worth the effort.
You could setup some routing and QoS on everyone's gateways to allow
for a type of fail-over situtation, where if your connection was down
you could use other peoples' bandwidth.
I can't think of any way for your gateway to know when its bandwidth
was all used up, and start trying WLAN routes - maybe someone else does though.
And trying to set it up with 5-7 (30-50) peoples routes would be a nightmare to try
and track who was utilising all their bandwidth and who wasn't.
You'd need some kind of dynamic routing protocol that knew about QoS.
that's my 2c worth.

nonsense. This will be an excellent little network, and very exciting
too.
google for "policy routing book" - there is an example in there
somewhere.

I agree with you Steve. I am working in the same project (wireless, my case)
but now
i don't have any document to send. So if you are patient i will send you all
i have.
Policies, test, and everything.
So i only can say "be patient".
Best regards.

I can be patient about something like that.. 8-)
Better still, perhaps we can work together. I have a couple of things
built so far that may benefit you, and probably vice-versa.

Hi,
I have Mandrake 10.0 (official). I have read the section in lartc about
"Routing for multiple uplinks/providers", but still I have some queries
below.
I have a DSL connection where they give pppoe which is directly terminated
into eth1 of my Linux box. Now I have another machine connected to dial-up
and it is on same LAN connected to eth0 of Linux box. Now, can I use
both these bandwidths (this is a test exercise to understand lartc) and
do sort of load balancing? Is there any patching needed for my kernel?
How do I make sure that indeed both the lines are used?
Thanks a lot for any help in advance.
With warm regards,
-Payal
